Question about Tool Call Streaming

[Lightblues]

I found that OpenAIChatCompletionsModel can only stream out text, but cannot stream out tool_call deltas. But I think streaming is an important feature for application that need instant responses.

There is a comment in the code that "Because we don't know the name of the function until the end of the stream, we'll save everything and yield events at the end", but I don't understand it. Could you clarify the reason why we cannot just yield ResponseFunctionCallArgumentsDeltaEvent (openai.types.responses.response_function_call_arguments_delta_event) in ChatCompletions API?

We get deltas that contain:

• deltas of the function name
• deltas of the function args

So e.g. if your function is called "get_weather", the first delta might have get_ and the second might have weather. So until we receive the last delta, we don't know the name of the function.

In practice this doesn't seem to be a real issue so maybe we should fix this
